nose Bunnie Application filed June 10, 1927. Serial No. 19 7:,805.-

This invention relatesto improvements in siphon or hose holders, whereby the siphon or hose may be attached to a suitable receptacle such as a liquid containing-vat; .j l

It is one of the primary objects of thls invention to provide a device ofthis character which will more efiectively hold the siphon with respect to the receptacle and which may be constructed in large quantitiesat a'rela' tively low cost. 7

These and other objects'will appear more considered in connection with-the drawings in which:

Fig. 1 is an elevational of the invention. 7 V Fig. 2 is a similar. view showing the device in use. 7 v Fig. 3 is an elevational view taken at rightangles to'Fig. 1 and i i v r Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. lshowing a slightly difierent form of the invention.

Referring to the details of the drawings the preferred embodimentof the hose holder is shown in Figs. 1 to S. and comprises an arched supporting. frame 6 formed as a curved yoke-shapedstrip of'metal having an upper portion 8 and terminal portions 9. The frame-6 is formed of any preferred resilient material such for example as brass or steel. The ends 9 are juxtaposed for engage- 1 1 .ce tacle wall 10.

ment" with a support shown as a: wall 10 of a receptacle the ends 9 being spring pressed into relatively tight engagement with the re} he hose holder propercomprises the helical coil spring 12 attached to the'frame 6 at spaced points thereon as shown for examplein Fig. 1 the coil extending circumferentially around the frame. This attachment is accomplished by securingthe end portions 13 and 14 of the coil 12 tothe hooks 15 andv16, respectively, formed onthe frame6. The member 12 is formed as-a'substantially' uni-' form section of a helical coil spring formed of any suitable metal the books 15 and 16' being engaged through a few of the end strands of the coil spring for supporting this coil upon the frame 6. If desiredone of the.

hooks for example that indicated at 15 may be view of one form bent around the connectedportion of-thecoil spring12 in order to more or less permanently secure one end of the coil to the frame '6 at this point. It is preferred that oneend of the coil be removable as indicated at 16. p Thesupporting frame may assume various forms under diflerentrconditions one modified form of this member; bein shown in Fig. 4' wherein the supporting rame 6 receives and supports the helical coil spring 12 as in thefirst form of the invention. The

main difference. in this form of the inven tion over that'sh-own'in Figs. 1 to 3 is that the supporting frame is formed with angular extensions 9 engageable 'lengthwisefwith. the sides of the container wall when this deviceis in use; l 1 I a i In the use'of the device theframe 6 is clamped upon thesupporting'structure with which the'device is to be used. Oneend portion 1?: of the coil is release'd from its corre I p sponding hook.16 intofthe dotted line 'posi- J I tion shown'in Fig; 1 and the tubular member, 18 shown as a section of' rubber tubing is passedthrough the helical member-" 12. The

free end 14 of the'helical spring is then reattached tothe hook'16 with the result that? one-end of the hose IS'eXtends into and the V other-end out of the receptacle formedv in part by the wall .12.. i It" istobe'understood that the helical spring 12 is madeof a size to snugly receive the tubular member 18 with which it is to be used and that if desired different sizes of springsections 12 maybe supplied'withone frame 6 in order to adapt the device for dif ferent'sized tubes. j l

It will be evident that, the bending of the spring member 12 into'an'arcuate shape and" its extension to engage the hook 16 afterthe tubular member 18 has been passed through the same will 3 cause the tubular member to be securely clamped within the coil. V v

.Having now described my invention what I-claiin and desire tosecure by Letters Pat- 3 1.- A hose holder comprising a curved hose receiving opening, said frame and coil including coacting means for attaching the latter to the former at a plurality of spaced "points thereon with said coil supported throughout its length by said frame.

2. A hose holder comprising a curved frame formed with means for attachment to a support and a helical coil formed with a hose receiving opening, saidframe and coil lncludlng coacting means for attachingv the.

latter to the former at a plurality of spaced points thereon, said points being positioned substantially symmetrically with respect to the length of said frame and with a portion of said curve between saidpoints;

3. A hose holder constructed for attachment to a support and comprisinga curved frame and a flexible helical coil, means on said frame for clamping the same to said sup portand means for attaching said coil to said frame at circumferentially spaced points around said curved frame.

4. A hose holder comprising an arched frame formed of a single piece of metal constituting a body part and a helical coiled spring constituting a hose holder and attachment means formed at spaced points on said frame for receiving and holding spaced portions of said spring.

5. A hose holder comprising a flexible body portion formed of a single piece of metal arched to provide two juxtaposed inwardly projecting ends which coact-to form a clamp, a helical coiled spring formed'with a longitudinally extending opening for receiving a tubular member and with spaced attaclnnent portions and spaced attachment means formed on said arched body portion for receiving the attachment portions ofsaid spring for supporting said spring on said body portion with said spring in extended condition.
